Businesses Flee Denver in Mass Due to Safety Concerns and Remote Work Opportunities

By the Lobby The mass exodus of businesses from Denver has reached a critical point, with CEOs citing financial viability, safety concerns, and cleanliness as the driving factors behind their decision to pack up and leave. The city's policies and the influx of indigent migrants and homeless individuals have created an environment that is increasingly challenging for businesses and their employees. Denver's once highly coveted Mile High City office real estate market has lost its luster, and the consequences are evident. According to Moody's Analytics data, a staggering 21.7% of office space across the Denver metro area was vacant at the end of last year, surpassing the national average of 19.6%. The commercial real estate firm CBRE reported even more severe vacancy rates at 31.5%,...

Libs of Tik Tok exposes Colo Dem’s bill letting felons change their name

By Colorado Peak Politics The Colorado legislature, as featured on Libs of Tik Tok, wants to make it easier for convicted felons to change their names — but only those seeking gender affirming care. The story featured in the video is from 9News, which highlighted this person’s unverified claim about Florida law, that we could not substantiate. Florida does have a three-strikes law for felony offenders. But charging prostitutes with a felony for getting three misdemeanors? READ FULL ARTICLE ON COLORADOPEAKPOLITICS.COM

Trump survives Illinois Board of Elections vote determining his 2024 ballot status

By Jack Birle, Washington Examiner The Illinois Board of Elections unanimously decided to allow former President Donald Trump to remain on the ballot in the state, arguing it did not have the authority to determine his eligibility under the Constitution. The petitioners had argued Trump was ineligible to run for president, alleging he committed an insurrection with the Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, in violation of section three of the 14th Amendment. The board, made up of four Democrats and four Republicans, voted 8-0 to heed the recommendation of its general counsel and leave eligibility questions up to the courts. "I think that we do not have jurisdiction to wade into the constitutional issue to decide the question of whether the candidate engaged in ins...

Survey: Colorado voters agree state is too expensive, disagree on election integrity

By Thelma Grimes [email protected] While Democratic and Republican voters may be split on who they want to lead the country and whether they trust the integrity of national elections, a recent survey shows Colorado residents agree that the cost of living in the state is too high. One of the top takeaways from the annual Colorado Political Climate Survey conducted by the American Politics Research Lab at CU Boulder and the polling company YouGov is that 80% of survey participants said they are either “concerned” or “very concerned” about the rising cost of living. According to a Forbes Advisor analysis, Colorado’s affordability continues to trend high. Ranked 11th in the nation, Colorado’s total cost of living for residents is estimated at around $45,931. The analy...

Colorado Democrats Push a radical Climate Change Agenda in Colorado’s Public Schools

By The Lobby Democrat lawmakers are making a new effort to spread their climate change agenda in the state's public schools. Senate Bill 14, proposed by State Sen. Chris Hanson, aims to introduce what the bill calls "climate literacy" into the curriculum. However, critics argue that this move is just another example of liberal Democrats pushing an agenda-driven curriculum while neglecting important subjects like American history, personal finance, and government.

Investor Griffin gave $5 million to pro-Haley group in January -source

By Svea Herbst-Bayliss and Alexandra Ulmer (Reuters) - Hedge fund billionaire Kenneth Griffin gave $5 million to an outside group supporting Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley this month, a person familiar with the donation said on Tuesday. The support from Griffin, a Republican mega donor, may help Haley assuage concerns of running out of money after she lost the first two Republican nominating contests to runaway frontrunner Donald Trump and faces a steep path to clinching the party's presidential nomination ahead of the November election. However, it remains unclear when in January Griffin made the donations, a potentially important fact given Haley lost the Iowa and New Hampshire contests, on Jan. 15 and Jan. 23, respectively.

Denver concedes to homeless micro-community zoning code appeal

By Noah Festenstein [email protected] A Denver resident on Tuesday successfully appealed the zoning decision to build a "micro-community" site in the Overland Park neighborhood in Denver, forcing Mayor Mike Johnston's office to refile the permit request. The successful appeal is unlikely to stop the building of the "micro-community" at 621 W. Wesley Ave., which already broke ground. But it offers a symbolic victory to residents opposed to the city's plans to erect "micro-communities" in their neighborhoods to house homeless people.   READ FULL ARTICLE ON DENVERGAZETTE.COM

Former Colorado Springs councilwoman prioritizes public safety, infrastructure, lower taxes in race for El Paso County’s District 3

By Breeanna Jent [email protected] Brandy Williams has her eyes on El Paso County's future, and she sees fireworks. Williams is running as a Republican in the crowded race to replace outgoing Stan VanderWerf on the Board of El Paso County Commissioners in District 3, promising to prioritize public safety, infrastructure and lower taxes. The county has seen rapid widespread population and economic growth over the last decade, said Williams, 45. Likening its expansion to a mountain climbed, the lifelong resident and former Colorado Springs councilwoman said the county's next step should be continuing that push.

Gorman: Colorado House Bill 1075 a looming health care debacle

 By Linda Gorman Why do people in government refuse to listen when voters say no? This year’s House Bill 24-1075 would require the Colorado School of Public Health to “research and deliver” model legislation for a single payer health care system. In single payer systems, government sets health care prices, determines treatments, and then decides who gets treated. Health care providers can go to jail for accepting any payment from any entity other than the state. In 2016, almost 79 percent of Colorado voters rejected single payer care. They voted against Amendment 69, a single payer health plan for Colorado. READ FULL ARTICLE ON COMPLETECOLORADO.COM

Colorado Democrats Push Controversial Bill, Undermining Parental Rights and Imposing Extreme Ideology on Foster Families

SOURCE: THELOBBY-CO.COM A deeply concerning bill has been introduced in Colorado that seeks to impose a highly controversial and destructive policy on foster families. Colorado HB 24-1017, known as the Bill of Rights for Foster Youth, would compel foster families in the state to affirm the chosen gender identity of a foster child under their care. This alarming legislation, sponsored by Democrat Rep. Lindsey Daugherty, is yet another example of Colorado Democrats eroding parental rights in favor of an extreme and divisive woke agenda. The bill claims to protect the rights of children and youth in foster care, including those who identify as LGBTQ+. While it is crucial to ensure fair and equal treatment for all individuals, this bill goes too far by mandating that foster famil...
